ground forces is not yet met and may never be. Some might see this strategy as going “back to the future,” a return to our roots. In part, this may be true, but the traditional ways in which we fought do not account for how our sophisticated adversaries have evolved, having moved past basic guerrilla warfare and generic terrorism. The future affords us an opportunity to look at the world and ourselves differently, and consider that there might also be a different way to conduct enduring SOF campaigns worldwide.

As USASOC celebrates its 25th year as an organization, the responsibility of the command’s leadership is to constantly scrutinize our organizations, personnel, and equipment to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness. Over the past decade, SOF have built a robust capability to target terrorist networks and an unmatched capacity for counterinsurgency operations. At its peak, the level of support to joint-force headquarters in the U.S. Central Command area of operations was the largest sustained effort in our history. ARSOF soldiers have performed magnificently during two of the nation’s longest wars, while executing a wide range of demanding and high-risk operations in hostile environments. USASOC units have also been actively safeguarding U.S. interests in other key areas around the world, outside of declared theaters of armed conf lict, often by focusing on building partner-nation capacity and advising partner forces. These efforts are typically small in presence, long in duration, and strategic in effect as they directly support regional and national objectives. ARSOF will remain a relevant and indispensable partner to the joint and interagency team as long as belligerent nations, non-state actors, and terrorist networks continue to employ unconventional methods to threaten the U.S. homeland, our interests, and our allies.
